I watched the FCS title game Friday - good game! I thought it was interesting that Montana's O-Line was 300+ average - it's not surprising that the top FCS schools can compete with the mid-tier FBS schools.

And I also watched the New Mexico Bowl - very surprised at how well Wyoming played - that was an impressive win for them.

Time to wake up..........

The hunt for next Gators coach is underway, shame Urban Meyer has to step down in his prime, tremendous record as a coach......seemed like a great guy to play for and was a good spokesman for university

Almost any name is on the table for this elite position, who do you think is on the short list?

(mysterious 2 million raise recently for coach Mack of Texas probably takes him out of the picture)

Well, you're the Gator fan. Tell us what names have been hot on the homer boards.

 

[Skylab]

Good question - that was kind of a shocker yesterday, in the midst of watching some nice bowl games yesterday. Not even sure who they might tap at this point. Maybe they could make another run at Gary Patterson? Or June Jones at SMU?

Congrats Skylab on your Wildcats making the NCAA mens BB top 25.

Realizing the crisis has passed...for now...but if they tab Mullen, it'll be with every living & breathing MSU fan hanging off his legs crying and whining the whole way.

IMO he would be their top pick. They know what he can do and he would fall right into the scheme of things. I don't think Urban is going anywhere though.

Thanks man - I sure hope this is the year we finally make the big dance

What's the deal with Mike Leach - is he really in trouble? Suspending him from coaching the bowl is kind of a big deal...

 

[RayfromTX]

Mike Leach is in a time warp where old school mean mo fo coaching meats 21st century sensitivities. When I was playing football in the seventies, the coaches did way worse things than that and the parents were right behind them. When I was puking and about to pass out, I asked the coach for a rest. His response was to scream at me that I was a mullet and make me do head butt drills against the biggest guy on the team. That's where you line up 10 yards apart and run at full speed towards one another and try to billy goat the other guy backwards. I'm sure my old healed up spinal injuries that were found later by my neurosurgeon had something to do with those drills. Winning one of those drills is how I earned my spot as the monster man on the 52 monster defense. Leach was raised during those times and missed his sensitivity training.

 

[Skylab]

Yep, that all sounds about right to me. I am sure that he probably did shut the kid in a closet.

That said, I'm not sure I would have chosen to do that to the son of an ESPN Broadcaster...

 

[ronnielee54]

I am sure he will land on his feet if TT were to cut him loose for good. Football coaches are supposed to be tough old aholes.

 

[Skylab]

I agree with that - some program trying to pull itself up would snap him up in a heartbeat.

 

[jeffreyj900]

I suspect Leach and TT will part ways. Seems like there is probably still bad blood with the contract negotiations and him speaking to Washington without letting the TT AD know. If it was me, I wouldn't be able to let go of them not giving me the benefit of the doubt and suspending me for the bowl game. That would be a tough pill to swallow. However, in light of the Mangino fiasco, TT probably didn't have much choice given the allegations.

 

[virometal]

I really don't care. My drama quota has been reached this silly season. The tipping point was passed during the Meyer thing.

Miami and Wisco is an interesting matchup. That's where my anticipation resides.
